1. You can soak your feet, but not for a long time. The harm of soaking feet for a long time, the child's skin damage. Compared with adults, children's bodies are prone to fever, so under such circumstances, if children are given hot water to soak their feet, the soles of their feet will definitely sweat, and the heat will be heated, plus the relatively hot water temperature. In the long run, the child's fragile skin will definitely be stimulated to a certain extent.
2. Ligaments will become slack. In early childhood, the baby's arch has not yet formed, the bones and joints are very elastic, and the fat accumulated on the soles of the feet will also make the arch inconspicuous. Therefore, when they stand, the soles of their feet are relatively flat, and this "flat foot" will last until the age of 6, and the arch of the foot will not appear until the foot calcifies. Children's feet are often washed or scalded with hot water, and plantar ligaments will become slack when heated, which is not conducive to the development, formation and maintenance of arch. The arch of foot is an important shock absorption system of human body. When we jump or jump from a height, the elasticity of the arch of the foot plays a role in buffering vibration and reducing the impact on the joints of the whole body, especially the head.
3. If you soak your feet, you should pay attention to these problems. The temperature should be appropriate and the water temperature should not be too high. Soaking feet does not mean that the higher the water temperature, the better. Babies can't feel the same temperature as adults. Adults feel that the water temperature is a little hot, which is already very hot for children, and it is easy to burn the baby's delicate skin. In addition, soaking your baby's feet with too hot water is not good for your baby's foot development. Therefore, it is best for babies to soak their feet with warm water all year round. The recommended temperature is 37℃~38℃, which is the most suitable water temperature.
4. The foot soaking time should not be too long. You should master the time and not soak for too long. Under the age of 3, it usually takes about 5 minutes; Soak for 5- 10 minutes for 3-5 years old; Over 5 years old, you can soak in 10- 15 minutes or so, or you can sweat a little on your child. For a long time, one is that the water temperature is not well controlled, and the other is that it is easy to sweat too much and consume body fluids. If the foot soaking time is too long, it is easy to cause the local blood circulation of the foot to be too fast for a long time, thus causing cardiovascular overload. And in autumn and winter, if you soak your skin with hot water, it will easily lead to dry skin.
5. Soak your feet and add salt. Children can add some salt when washing their feet, which can accelerate blood circulation, sterilize and relieve itching. Before adding cold water, try to pour hot water to fully crack the salt.
